Very excited to see the Thomson Concrete truck drive past the Struan Farm entrance gate as I was working down at the Homestead paddocks this week. The troughs for our veggie gardens were being delivered to the new house! I downed tools and rushed up to make sure they were offloaded where we can then move them into place (yep, Aaron and his digger to the rescue once again).
Six in all, with extra drainage holes in the bottoms and feet to rest upon. This was the compromise solution following a rather robust debate over the use of treated vs. untreated wood for raised veggie garden beds. We also looked into using poured concrete for raised beds, to be done at the same time the sidewalk out the back door and edging around the garage and workshop are done, but the associated labour cost for the boxing made these more cost effective.
Next they get put into place....
